APPROVED!
I can live with both options... *G*
the Trekkies and CI have worked together on some things since CI developed the Exocomps, so it could easily be a combined research project that finally allowed the Trekkies, CI and Dakota to field the first "mass produced" hardlight system.
(edit)
My idea was always that CI bought some 'soft' holoprojectors from the Trekkies in 2015-2020 for Jenga. So the basic building blocks of the hardlight system might be a combination of Trekkie, CI and Dakota tech.

Revised end for the text block:
But in the morning all kind of chaos started in the great hall, one of the catgirls had slept in the branches of the tree! While nobody was sure how, the projections of the system had become solid, a technology both unmatched by Dakota or Catgirl Industries. After a short and careful analysis the catgirls decided to keep the great hall together until they had a clue how the new holographic system was working.
It took a combined team of Trekkies and catgirls with the help of Dakota a lot of time to replicate the system, leading to the Trekkie ‘solid holograms’ and Catgirl Industries/Dakotas ‘Hardlight’ technology.

I will see that I write a little bit about the tech itself, so we can get a Fenspace Infinities wiki entry for it.
